Deep, rich color with dark purple color when poured. Dry and soft with dark cherry flavors. Full bodied, yet smooth and easy to drink. A nice wine that I would happily buy again. Definitely a nice tooth strainer. — 9 months ago

The wine has a good flavor, but it has an objectionable effervescent quality that I don’t like. Even after letting it open for over thirty minutes it didn’t diminish. I wouldn’t buy this wine again. I wonder why they have it on the wine list at this nice restaurant. — 5 years ago

This wine is very tasty with bright fruit flavors. Dry, yet flavorful. Notes of black cherry and a nicely balanced tooth stainer. I feel sure that you’d like this one! — 2 years ago

Great bold flavor. Nice rich color. Good tannins with black cherry notes. It’s a very flavorful wine that’s a good tooth stainer. Feel certain you’ll like it if you like a nice big wine. This was $45 at the restaurant and a good buy — 4 years ago

In Lisbon, Portugal having this big velvety red. Deep rich color with notes of black cherry. If you like a big full bodied wine this is a nice one. A nice surprise and exceeded my expectations 🍷 — 6 years ago

Was not fond of this wine. Initially it had an effervescent characteristic to it that was not desirable. Very dry and on the thin side. However, after 30-40 minutes the wine opened up and it was far better. — 6 years ago

Very disappointing. Nose is fine. Notes of black cherry. Dry. But thin. Looks and drinks more like a Pinot Noir. Not a rich, bold tooth stainer like I was hoping for. I’d never order this wine again if I wanted a Syrah. The flavors are fine, it’s just a lightweight. I’ve never given a wine poor reviews like this. Again, the wine isn’t nasty, just uncharacteristic of a Syrah in my view. — 3 years ago

Nice dry wine. Big firm tannins with lots of black cherry. Remarkably clean nose without the typical barnyard nose characteristic of many French wines. I think you’ll enjoy it. Would pair well with a nice steak — 5 years ago

Soft and velvety with a deep red color. Drinks like a big bold cab yet soft and so easy and delicious. Give this one a try. You’ll be glad you did. It’s very tasty! I’m getting a case 🙌🏼 — 6 years ago
